Pinfold Street Primary School
Learning is the key to success
Our Curriculum
Welcome to our primary school's curriculum, where our guiding principle is to prepare children for life. Our approach centres on equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to navigate and thrive in the world around them. Below are the key themes we focus on:
Significant People & Places
Our curriculum celebrates individuals and locations that have shaped history and continue to inspire future generations. We introduce children to influential figures, from scientists like Isaac Newton to leaders such as Florence Nightingale. By learning about diverse cultures and regions, students gain a broader understanding of the world and their role within it.
Buildings & Structures
Exploring architecture and famous structures provides insight into human innovation and creativity. We examine the importance of places like the Pyramids of Ancient Egypt and Stonehenge, understanding their historical significance. This theme helps children appreciate the built environment and encourages their curiosity in design and engineering.
Legacy
Understanding the concept of legacy teaches children how actions and decisions create lasting impacts. Through stories of people and societies from the past, pupils learn about lessons that can be applied today to make positive contributions to their communities and the wider world.
Beliefs
Through studying different beliefs and traditions, children learn respect and empathy. Our curriculum introduces a variety of world religions and philosophies, fostering a climate of understanding and acceptance. This theme supports the development of personal and social values rooted in kindness and inclusion.
Our curriculum is designed to nurture well-rounded individuals who are ready to engage with the challenges and opportunities of the future. We foster an enriching learning environment, where children feel supported in their quest for knowledge and personal growth. Through interactive lessons, hands-on experiences, and collaborative projects, we strive to make education a meaningful journey for every child.
We aim to enrich our curriculum wherever possible through making use of the school grounds, exploring the local area, educational visits and inviting guests into school.
